As my minor project for my Masters degree, I’m currently undertaking a project where I’m designing three workshops that will teach years 8 and 9 students about creating their own digital stories. The school being used for this project currently has its own manga club, so students are being encouraged to use their manga art to tell a story digitally. Hopefully, learning these skills will increase their digital and visual literacy skills.
I thought I might share a few of the resources I’ve been studying for this project to provide a sample of what kind of research is being done in this area. My resources are a mix of how to create a digital story, how to teach digital story workshops, and theory behind digital storytelling, digital literacy, and how digital storytelling can be used in educational contexts.
